Both mcs and csc reject the code, but with a different error.

csc tells you that you forgot an out keyword (the signature call doesn't match
with the method one)

mcs tells you that you have used an argument that you have to initialize first

Both errors are correct but the first one is more meaningful in my opinion
(because you write that kind of code because you want the variable to get
assigned in the method, not because you want to send a value).
